This final of three workshops in the series led by Movement for a Better Internet representatives will aim towards finalizing the outputs of the program stream: an actionable political strategy for promoting and protecting the principles and potential of the decentralized web in the face of increasingly skeptical policymakers.

This session will focus on weaving together the panel discussion and first two workshops into an action plan for further policy work. Participants will have the opportunity to coordinate and connect on next steps for carrying forward the lessons of DWeb Camp.
